Stumble It!British Singer Adele Flips The Bird At Brit Awards
Posted by bsw gossip girls on February 22nd, 2012
British singer Adele picked up more accolades on Tuesday at the Brit Awards. However, her big night was capped by controversy. After she was cut off during her acceptance speech for the Best Album award, Adele flipped the bird in frustration.
Adele "flips the bird" at The Brit Awards
It seems singer song writer Damon Albarn, rambled his acceptance speech which put the show behind schedule, and Adele was not allowed to say more than a few sentences as producers tried to make up for lost time. The alternative rock band Blur closed the show with a performance after Adele’s shortened speech.
“Sorry if I offended anyone, but the people in suits offended me,” Adele said after the show, The Mirror of London reported. “I wasn’t swearing at the fans, but I didn’t get to complete my thank-you speech!”
Adele won Best British Female Solo Artist and Best Album at the Brits, after winning six trophies at the Grammys earlier this month. In accepting the Best Album award, Adele started her speech by saying, “Nothing makes me prouder than coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits to win Album Of The Year. I’m so, so proud to be British and to be flying the British flag and I’m so proud to be in the room with all of you.”
It was at that point that host James Corden cut her off, bashfully saying, “I’m so so sorry, and I can’t believe I’m going to do this …” Adele then calmly said, “You’re going to cut me off. Can I just say, then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time round?” Then she raised the middle finger of her right hand.
Adele immediately had many people come to her defense on twitter. One tweet said: “Who has the audacity to cut Adele off at an awards show? In London?“
The producers of the show even took to Twitter to apologize. “We regret this happened & we send deepest apologies to Adele that her big moment was cut short tonight due to the live show over-running,” a statement posted on the Brit Awards official Twitter page read. “We don’t want this to undermine her incredible achievement in winning her incredible award. It tops off what’s been an incredible year for her.”

That all fine and well but more importantly did you see her crazy sexy cat eyeliner?
I heard she uses beth bender beauty’s Get in Line Eyeliner Stencil Kit to create her cat eyes. Maybe she and Kate Middleton have shared beauty notes.
Here is a link to the Get in Line Kit:
